761 I swear
Garden.
Looking around, Ashton frowned when he did not see Yushen before walking further, wondering where he was. It was still hard to believe that Yushen had been mugged by three large women but he still chose to believe what everyone said.
"Yushen? Are you there?" He shouted before walking towards the fountain.
"Yu? It's alright man, you don't have to feel shy or awkward, I won't judge you or anything."
Waiting for quite some time when he figured out that Yushen was nowhere to be seen, he was about to walk out when someone stopped him.
"Yushen isn't there but I am, is that enough for you to stay?"
Ashton's body froze when he realized who it was. How could he not recognize her voice? He could easily say who it was even amongst a thousand people.
A part of him was saying that he was missing her so much that he had started hearing things but the other part of him was also hoping it to be true. But how was that possible? Didn't she leave with her friend? How could she be there, talking to him?
"Are you mad at me? You won't even look at me?" She anxiously asked.
Gulping in nervousness, he turned around only to find Elsa standing right in front of him. His breathing hitched and his eyes watered. All the overwhelming feelings that he had been suppressing in his heart, wanted to gush out of his eyes.
Looking at her for quite some time, he asked, "I thought you left."
With tears gushing down her cheeks, Elsa answered, "I almost left."
"Oh, why didn't you leave then?"
Walking towards him, she said, "How could I leave when you didn't even give me a last goodbye hug?" Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she added, "Will you let me hug you now?"
"I think they are done now, we should go inside," Huiling said before rushing towards the new couple excitedly.
"You guys, I am so happy for you both," she excitedly squealed before giving Elsa and Ashton hugs simultaneously.
"Congratulations," everyone shouted unanimously before giving them some warm hugs.
"You people tricked me into this," Ashton chuckled.
Qiang, Becca and Huiling grinned and gave Elsa a high five. When Elsa arrived at the mansion looking for Ashton with her belongings, they planned everything and asked Guang to bring Ashton over.
"You got a kiss from this little trick of ours, be happy," Guang chuckled before patting Ashton's back.
"This calls for a celebration, let's go out and have some fun," Yushen excitedly said.
Wrapping his arms around Elsa's shoulder, Ashton smiled, "The treat is on us."
"Pfft do you even have to say? Obviously it's on you. I mean do you expect any of us to pay when it's clearly your big day?" Yushen asked.
"Alright, I'll go and get my coat," Qiang said before rushing out of the garden while the others followed behind.

Elsa's room.
"Ash, we can do this later."
Ashton vigorously shook his head and said, "No, we need to do it now."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like I am going anywhere." She chuckled.
"No, I don't like all your clothes packed like this. I feel her you will go away again and leave me alone," he whined before taking out her clothes from the suitcase.
